CD Sunday - Game On!

Well another week has whizzed by and it's time for another challenge from CD Sunday. It's Jocelyn's turn to choose the theme and she has chosen 'Game On'. Not having any sporty female friends (or men for that matter) I've gone with what's probably a male themed card. I know ladies play golf, but I haven't seen a lady golfer image anywhere. The stamp is from Crafters Companion Men's Collection, the bp is from the Crafters Companion Men's Collection Double CD set, and the sentiment I put together in Craft Artist and printed it off. Several times I might add as I wanted it to fit a nestie circle. Full marks to you if you know a way to do it first time! The picket fence is, I think, a Sissix die but I've had it ages and lost the packaging.
I look forward to seeing all the entries into the CD Sunday challenge this week - as I do every week.
Please remember to tell us which CD you have used and which elements of your project are from the CD.
Thanks very much for visiting today.

Girl on a Mission

Last month I was lucky enough to win the Get Funky challenge had the opportunity to snag a free download. I chose the Kraft Papers download and they are just gorgeous. I've used one of them for the bp on this card - which I'm entering into this month's challenge.
The stamp is one of the new Sheena Douglass ones, purchased at her workshop in Port Sunlight a few weeks ago. I've coloured with Distress Markers, the glitter star exhaust I embossed with holographic ep and the sentiment I stamped in Spun Sugar DI and also embossed with holographic ep. The Cheery Lynn Holly Flourish arrived yesterday morning - having only ordered it the previous morning from Card Craft UK. Always excellent service and great prices. Then I finished the card off with a little ribbon and some card candy.
Another one for the Christmas box!
Thanks very much for visiting today.

Cute Christmas at CD Sunday

Good morning all and welcome to another CD Sunday challenge, this week we have a bit of a treat for you as we have an extra gift to give away. We have been given a copy of the latest cd from
 Elegant Inspiration - Christmas Comfort, to give to the winner of our top three this week.
As this new cd is a Christmas one that is why we have chosen the theme Cute Christmas, there are two cd's in this pack  one is the normal kind of thing you would expect in the shape of images and backing papers etc., the other cd is full of different cutting files which you can use either with a cutting machine or to print off and cut out by hand.
Sorry I'm a bit late posting this week. I've had my niece visiting and we went to the Donington show yesterday so everything has got a bit behind - so apologies also to Jenny for copying her summery of this weeks challenge.
For my card I've gone with the lavender/purple theme - because I can. The pretty snow bp is from the Elegant Inspiration CD and comes in a variety of colours - as do all the bp's.  The image is one of the ready made toppers from the same CD. The ribbon, bow and snowflake corners come courtesy of Craft Artist.
I hope you'll find time to join us this week as we all need to get a shift on with the Christmas cards sooner or later - and don't forget to tell us which CD you used.
Thanks very much for visiting.

Nectar Selector

I'm hoping Mr Blogger is placing nice today as I'll be winging my way to a workshop with Sheena Douglass as this card should be posting.
A couple of weeks ago I managed to enter Brenda's Poppy challenge by the skin of my teeth and was delighted that my name came out in the draw. I had the chance to choose something from Sir Stampalot - and chose Tim Holtz' Compendium of Curiosities Vol II. Thank you Brenda - I'm hoping I can come up with some inky creations sometime soon.
This week's challenge from the CD Sunday team is 'Exotic Birds and Blooms' a theme chosen by Christine.
I have used these two stamps together before I know but it was a while back. The 'exotic blooms' are part of a large azalea stamp and I have used the top part of the stamp to make the border. This was coloured with Distress Markers. The humming bird is a Dimensions stamp - coloured with H2O's.
The bp was just what I was looking for - although it took me some time to find it. It's on the Jayne Netley Mayhew II CD set - disc 2. The decoupaged leaf - top corner - is the large leaf on the azalea stamp, the sentiment an oval a nestie and the ribbon from my stash. Hope you'll come and join us this week. Lots of scope again with this theme.
I'd also like to enter this card in the Sir Stampalot challenge this month. The theme is 'Take Flight' so this should fit the bill. I think I'll have to link it to the challenge blog when I get back as I'm not sure what would happen if I try to link a post that isn't published yet. Confusion all round I would think.
Thanks very much for visiting today and enjoy what's left of the weekend.

Bingo!

Well yet another week has flown by and it's time for another challenge from CD Sunday. This week we have a new guest designer Michelle and have to say a big thank you to Claire for being guest designer for July - I hope you'll still visit Claire's blog as she does some amazing work that shouldn't be missed.

On to this weeks challenge - Bingo. I have chosen the diagonal line -  die cuts, sentiment, stamp.

The bp is from Crafters Companion Everyday two disc collection - this  from CD1.

The die cuts are Spellbinders nesties, Cuttlebug corners and a Memory Box corner. The stamp is one of Joanna Sheen's baby collection and the sentiment is by Rubbadubbadoo.

Thanks very much for visiting - I hope you'll have a go at the bingo challenge - lots of scope there.
